Motorcycles transport

Motorbikes and
mopeds are not only expensive, but also
difficult to protect when
transported. Though, it turns out that the majority depends on how we do it and how
much previous experience with shipping we gained. It is feasible
to transport a motorcycle or a moped without problems,
no doubts about that. The way you will
secure it depends on the mean of shipment.
Thanks to some useful tricks you
will prevent any damages, and dents that
may happen when a moped or motorbike is not properly cared for.

When you are
transporting your motorcycle
using a trailer you will need 4 strapping belts to
strap it down. If you use a trailer which is
dedicated for motorbikes or scooters, it already
has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike.
In this case you will need only 2 strapping
belts. It is neccessary to use
a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed
one should not open up by accident during the
shipment.

It is also worth checking
the sharp edges or elements that may
possibly cut the belts and hinder your efforts.
It's also feasible to transport a
motorbike inside a truck. The protection and
equipment obligatory to keep the
motorcycle resting safely in one
place will not vary too much from other methods mentioned above.
One thing to be
considered will be installing the side pads to
protect the insides of the van
and other objects that might be transported just next to the motorbike.

There are also platforms that
hooked to a truck or another vehicle, can help
you transport your motorcycle not occupying
the whole space in the van.

It is important
to check with the shipping company if
the equipment they provide will suffice to transport
your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden
stand for lifting your scooter and
loading it in a truck could be dangerous to people providing
the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause substantial
damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.

When posting an offer on Clicktrans you
can get a lot of great quotes from transport
providers registered on Clicktrans.

Many of these companies can
arrange the transport, so that they can utilise the
full capacity of their vans. Thanks to that,
the service gets cheaper and more environmentally
friendly with decreasing number of ”empty running”.
